I ran across this really cool story at NASCAR.com about the roots of NASCAR in Spartanburg, South Carolina.
I grew up in Forest City, NC; about 30-40 minutes from Spartanburg. I have many fond memories from childhood of going to Spartanburg for “the mall” and Putt-Putt Miniature Golf and other “big city” things. I had no idea how much NASCAR was engrained in the culture there.
Who else wants to go to the “Spartanburg Super Speedway” and afterwards, head over to The Beacon for a Cheeseburger-A-Plenty
